LEGO_Set_21005_Fallingwater_1_by_AndrewDBarker.jpg

Fallingwater, also known as the Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. Residence, is a house designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1934 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. The house was built partly over a waterfall in Bear Run at Rural Route 1 in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in the Laurel Highlands of the Allegheny Mountains.

The LEGO set contains 811 pieces.

The LEGO set is now considered "Hard To Find" on the LEGO website, as well.

It retails for 99.99$.

(As it is a collectors item it's more expensive than the regular 10? per brick that usually is associated with LEGO sets.)

I lucked out and got it for 86.99$.

I may mention, that this is one of my most wanted sets ofall> time.

To commemorate this, I've changed my wallpaper on my PC to Fallingwater as well.

I am absolutely ecstatic that I found it to have found it today.

Congrats Andrew!

So, does this mean you're going to open it, and build it? Or are you not opening it?

I'm building it right now, live on Webcam.. : http://www.ustream.tv/channel/minifigs-gaming-channel

Nice find Minifig :) I don't know much about Lego but it sounds like this is pretty hard to find so it must be a feat. Are there any other rare sets you're looking for now?

I actually have something on my christmas list (related to LEGO) that's on ebay for 49.95 plus shipping, if you're interested in helping me, let me know.

Looks like an awesome set! Will you post pics when done? :)

I will be posting pictures every 10 "set" pages.

Does buying this come with a pull-out bed to put in your parent's basement?

I live in my own house, thank you for trying to insult me though. :happy:

I would also like to refer to http://brickartist.com/, Nathan Sawaya is 36 years old, owns the largest private collection of LEGO in the world, and makes a living as a brick artist.

Next time you think people live in their parents basement because they play with toys, think before you type.

It was a joke, not an insult. Calm down. It was meant in jest.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
